Leigh Ann Vorhees was 16 years old in 2005 when Travis L. Marlett approached her from behind in an otherwise empty Central High School classroom and cut her throat with a homemade knife.

On Thursday, Marlett - who was released from prison less than four months ago - was accused of approaching a clerk at an otherwise empty Muncie adult novelties store, where police say he beat, raped and robbed the woman, who is five months pregnant.
